Creative Modern European cooking with standout tasting menu value, strong views and terrace; service can be slow and portions refined rather than hearty.
Allegra delivers exceptional food quality anchored by a celebrated tasting menu and refined contemporary cooking, supported by a beautiful seventh-floor terrace with city views. However, inconsistent execution and notably slow service pacing—with dinners frequently stretching beyond three hours—prevent the grade A territory that its culinary strengths might otherwise suggest. The restaurant competes well with London's better neighborhood fine dining, though operational refinement would elevate it further.
One caveat: Course pacing can be very slow, especially late in the meal
